Title: yet another scam, not bad
Post by: northstars on April 22, 2013, 01:07 am
I got this in vendor email.  Cute angle.  I'm not american, but I feel for the tragedy.
BELOW IS A SCAM.

This is an automatic message regarding Silk Road's charity efforts in connection to the Boston terror attack last week. We had sent a system wide message a few days ago. If you have already donated, or if you do not wish to participate please disregard.

As we have announced, we have set up a fund to help the victims of the terrible tragedy that struck the Boston Marathon last week. On Monday April 22nd, Silk Road will be donating funds to the City of Boston to help mitigate the costs of damage as well as medical expenses of those injured in the terrorist attack. Silk Road has pledged to match whatever donations are collected by our vendor community and donate them to the relief efforts.

If you wish to contribute, feel free to donate whatever you can.
No amount is too big or too small. Every BTC counts.

Silk Road Boston Relief Fund:

If you have already donated, please disregard this notification.

We will be releasing a small statement to several press outlets on Monday regarding our charity efforts in response to this tragedy.

Sincerely,
Silk Road    18 hours    read
